Katherine Araniello

Her prime focus was to subvert and parody complex contemporary issues often having to do with disability, such as assisted suicide, media representation, prejudice and ignorance and body aesthetics.

[8] She was a member of the film collective 15MM,[9][10] and showed work at Beaconsfield, Tate Modern, Gasworks and Serpentine Gallery and more.

It was a performance to camera, based on the comedy sketch Dinner for One (1920) written by British author Lauri Wylie which was recorded in Germany (1963).

Araniello replaced the invisible dinner guests from the original comedy sketch with disability personas that were over-inflated and self-indulgent, to instill a sense of irony and satire.

The Disabled Avant-Garde (Araniello and Aaron Williamson) was commissioned as part of M21: From the Medieval to the 21st Century,[14] in which they created the piece Wayward Mascots (2012).
